Notes
I liked these cookies with chunky bits of fruit and nuts, so I stayed with fairly large chunks of apples and pecans, but you can also chop more finely if you like.

Test run your cookies by baking a few in your oven. This cookie dough is wet and may tend to flatten out if your oven is not hot enough. If cookies start to spread too much, you can increase your oven temperature to 375 or chill your dough for 30 minutes prior to baking.
